Use of Hardware Battery Drill in Orthopedic Surgery

Among the power drills ( Electrical/ Pneumatic/Battery ) used in Orthopedic surgery, battery drill has got several advantages. Surgeons in low resource settings could not routinely use Orthopedic battery drills (OBD) due to the prohibitive cost of good drills or poor quality of other drills. “Hardware” or Engineering battery drill (HBD) is a viable alternative to OBD. HBD is easy to procure, ru...

Design and Manufacture of a Smart Orthopedic Pin Cutter for Use in the Operating Room and Patients Undergoing Orthopedic Surgery

Background and Aim: Since pin cutter is used in surgical operations involving screw and orthopedic plating and this is one of the most sensitive surgeries, saving time is very important along with reducing infection rate. The purpose of design the Mini-Pin Cutter is to replace a smaller, lighter, more efficient device than conventional and traditional cutters, which ultimately results in a comf...

Use of carbon-fiber-reinforced composite implants in orthopedic surgery.

Carbon-fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone implants offer several benefits over traditional metal implants. Their radiolucent property permits improved, artifact-free radiographic imaging. Their lower modulus of elasticity better matches that of bone. Their fatigue strength is greater than most metal implants. This article reviews the use of these implants in orthopedic surgery, including tre...

Current state and use of biological adhesives in orthopedic surgery.

Bone and tissue adhesives are common and beneficial supplements to standard methods of musculoskeletal tissue suture repair. Knowledge and development of biologically derived or inspired adhesives useful in orthopedic surgery are rapidly advancing. Recent literature demonstrates the increased adjunct or primary use of biological adhesives in the repair of musculoskeletal soft tissues, chondral ...
